The Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Finalist Showcase | Dispute Resolution

The Partner of the Year Awards 2020 will be hosted as a live broadcast event on Friday 27 November, and as part of this virtual event, Lawyers Weekly is pleased to bring you a series of podcasts showcasing finalists across numerous award categories.

In this episode, Lawyers Weekly deputy editor Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Hayden Gordine from Taylor Root, principal partner of the Partner of the Year Awards, and two finalists in the Dispute Resolution Partner of the Year category: Amanda Banton from Banton Group and Patrick Mead from Carter Newell Lawyers.

The quartet discuss how the nature and practice of dispute resolution has been upended in the wake of COVID-19, how both Ms Banton and Mr Mead have responded to such changes and subsequently led their teams over the past year, and outline predictions for DR in the looming 'new normal'.

Lawyers Weekly will continue to recognise the achievements of talented professionals in 2020 — despite not being able to gather physically. Registration is free for our live broadcast, which will be held on at 7:30pm AEDT on Friday 27 November.

Register now to be a part of the Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year 2020 virtual ballroom.
